Meatballs are versatile and savory spheres made from ground meat, often a blend of beef and pork, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs such as parsley and oregano. They are seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, then shaped into balls and baked, fried, or simmered in sauce until cooked through. Meatballs can be enjoyed as appetizers with marinara sauce, served atop spaghetti with grated Parmesan, or in sandwiches with melted cheese. They are beloved for their hearty texture and ability to absorb flavors, making them a comforting and versatile dish found in various cuisines worldwide.
